## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great depth of color
*by L***R on January 5, 2026*

I love these. The color is so rich and easy to blend. This set has a great choice of colors.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun to use
*by B***L on November 24, 2025*

Shake before using. Apply to a pan or drop a small amount directly on the painting. Vibrant colors. Versatile. Didn’t expect to like. I love them. Highly recommend

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I got what I ordered, as described, with no issues so far
*by T***S on December 24, 2020*

I want to state specifically at the beginning that I ordered this on Amazon but made sure the seller was the Dr. Ph Martin store, as I, too, was worried about the quality of the watercolors, the consistency of them, and receiving the right colors in the pack (I saw people were getting duplicate colors and missing one, chunky product, etc.) I contacted the seller prior and they explained what was going on, and that if I had any issues with them that I could contact them and they would take care of it with free replacements that would be checked prior to shipment for quality. Hard to find service like that these days, so I went ahead and placed my order. I received my order today (December 24th, 2020) of the Hydrus Set 2 and everything appears to be as it should. It was double-wrapped in bubble wrap. I have all the right colors and no duplicates in my set. These were recommended to me by my friend, and I get frustrated using my cheap tube watercolors since I end up wasting more than I use. These have droppers and are liquid, so it is far easier to use just enough. Even though they are 0.5ml bottles I wholeheartedly expect them to last a long, long time. I will update my review soon with more details and some photos of examples. I just wanted to post my experience so far so the item would have a more recent review regarding what is received.
